Introduction. Total knee replacement (TKR), also referred to as total knee arthroplasty (TKA), is one of the most common surgical procedures performed for patients with severe arthritis of the knee (Mahomed et al., 2005).
Total knee replacement is classified to code 81.54 and involves replacing the articular surfaces of the femoral condyles, tibial plateau, and patella.

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA), also known as total knee replacement, is one of the most commonly performed orthopedic procedures. As of 2010, over 600,000 TKAs were being performed annually in the United States and were increasingly common [1].
Arthroplasty, also called joint replacement, is surgery to replace a damaged joint with an artificial joint (made of metal, ceramic or plastic). Providers usually replace the entire joint (total joint replacement). Less often, they replace only the damaged part of the joint.
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) or total knee replacement (TKR) is a common orthopaedic surgery that involves replacing the articular surfaces (femoral condyles and tibial plateau) of the knee joint with smooth metal and highly cross-linked polyethylene plastic.

Some clearinghouses may remove it for you but to avoid having a rejected claim due to an invalid ICD-10 code, do not include the decimal point when submitting claims electronically. See also: History.
A history and physical, discharge summary , physician progress notes and an operative report are typically in the hospital record for the procedures in this LCD. Other relevant information addressing coverage criteria related to the patient’s episode of care prior to the hospitalization, should be included in the hospital record (see below). Failure to include this information in the hospital record may result in denial of coverage for Part A services and trigger a review of the Part B provider claim to determine whether the Part B service rendered was reasonable and necessary.
Review of the medical record must indicate that inpatient hospital care was medically necessary, reasonable, and appropriate for the diagnosis and condition of the beneficiary at any time during the stay. The beneficiary must demonstrate signs and/or symptoms severe enough to warrant the need for medical care and must receive services of such intensity that they can be furnished safely and effectively only on an inpatient basis.
